Jeremiah 15:18-20
The Voice
18 So why does my pain never end?
Why does this wound never heal?
Will you be to me as deceptive and unreliable as a dry stream to a thirsty man?
19 Eternal One (to Jeremiah): If you will turn back to Me,
I will restore you—
and you will stand before Me.
If you will speak worthy words instead of worthless complaints,
You will be My spokesman.
Let the people come to you, but don’t go to them!
20 They will come at you, but I will make you like a wall of bronze against them.
They will not beat you, because I am with you to save and rescue you.
This will be so, for I have declared it.
Jeremiah 15:18-20
New International Version
Jeremiah 15:18-20
New International Version
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(A)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(B)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve(C) me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.(D)
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
20 I will make you a wall(E) to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome(F) you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you,”(G)
declares the Lord.
